Except where noted, the known issues in Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integrated Edition v1.14.1 are also in Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integrated Edition v1.14.2. See the TKGI v1.14.1 Known Issues below.
This issue is fixed in TKGI v1.14.3.
On occasion, the IP Addresses for one or more running Pods in a Windows cluster become unreachable. Pinging from within an unreachable Pod also fails, returning Request timed out..
The unreachable Pods might also enter a CrashLoopBackOff state.
Explanation
CNI requests within the Pod have entered a race condition. Afterward, networking for the Pod is unreachable.
This issue is fixed in TKGI v1.14.3.
While updating or upgrading a Windows Worker cluster that uses the containerd container runtime, some of the cluster’s nodes can become unresponsive. During the cluster update or upgrade, the node drain step for the cluster’s nodes can time out and not finish.
Symptom
While updating or upgrading a Windows Worker cluster, the drain step for some nodes hangs for an extended period, and the nodes enter an unresponsive agent state. The update or upgrade process eventually logs the error Error: Timed out sending 'get_task' to instance for the executing drain step.

TKGI v1.14.0 has the following known issues.
For Known Issues in NCP v3.2.1, see NSX Container Plugin 3.2.1.1 Release Notes.
This issue is fixed in TKGI v1.14.2.
When accessing Kubernetes services from a Windows Pod, the following error is logged in some Windows clusters:
curl: (7) Failed to connect to 192.168.1.1 port 8080: Timed out
The Windows Pod is unable to communicate with the Kubernetes service.
Symptom
After you restore Ops Manager and the TKGI API VM from backup, TKGI functions normally, but your TKGI MC tabs include the following error: “…product ‘pivotal-container service’ is not deployed…”.
Explanation
TKGI MC is associated with an Ops Manager with a specific name. If you rename Ops Manager with a new name while restoring, your TKGI MC will not recognize the restored Ops Manager and cannot manage it.
Symptom
The pods in your TKGI Kubernetes clusters on NSX-T become stuck in a creating state. The connections between nsx-node-agent and hyperbus repeatedly close, log Couldn't connect to 'tcp://...' (error: 111-Connection refused), and have a status of COMMUNICATION_ERROR.
Explanation
For information and workaround steps for this Known Issue, see Issue 2795268: Connection between nsx-node-agent and hyperbus flips and Kubernetes pod is stuck at creating state in NSX Container Plugin 3.1.2 Release Notes in the VMware documentation.
Symptom
After clicking Apply Changes on the TKGI tile in an Azure environment, you experience an error ‘…could not execute “apply-changes”…’ with either of the following descriptions:
For example:
INFO | 2020-09-21 03:46:49 +0000 | Vessel::Workflows::Installer#run | Install product (apply changes)

Explanation
The Azure CPI endpoint used by Ops Manager has been changed and your installed version of Ops Manager is not compatible with the new endpoint.
Workaround
Run the following Ops Manager CLI command:
om --skip-ssl-validation --username USERNAME --password PASSWORD --target https://OPSMAN-API curl --silent --path /api/v0/staged/director/verifiers/install_time/IaasConfigurationVerifier -x PUT -d '{ "enabled": false }'
Where:
USERNAME is the account to use to run Ops Manager API commands.PASSWORD is the password for the account.OPSMAN-API is the IP address for the Ops Manager APIFor more information, see Error ‘undefined method location’ is received when running Apply Change on Azure in the VMware Tanzu Knowledge Base.
VMware vRealize Operations (vROPs) does not support Windows worker-based Kubernetes clusters and cannot be used to manage TKGI-provisioned Windows workers.
To monitor Windows-based worker node clusters with a Wavefront collector and proxy, you must first install Wavefront on the clusters manually, using Helm. For instructions, see the Wavefront section of the Monitoring Windows Worker Clusters and Nodes topic.
TKGI-provisioned Windows worker-based Kubernetes clusters inherit a Kubernetes limitation that prevents outbound ICMP communication from workers. As a result, pinging Windows workers does not work.
For information about this limitation, see Limitations > Networking in the Windows in Kubernetes documentation.
You can use Velero to back up stateless TKGI-provisioned Windows workers only. You cannot use Velero to back up stateful Windows applications. For more information, see Velero on Windows in Basic Install in the Velero documentation.
TKGI on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) does not support Tanzu Mission Control (TMC) integration, which is configured in the Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integrated Edition tile > the Tanzu Mission Control pane.
If you intend to run TKGI on GCP, skip this pane when configuring the Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integrated Edition tile.
TMC Data Protection feature supports privileged TKGI containers only. For more information, see Plans in the Installing TKGI topic for your IaaS.
Windows worker-based Kubernetes clusters integrated with group Managed Service Account (gMSA) cannot be managed using compute profiles.
On vSphere with NSX-T networking you can use compute profiles with both Linux and Windows worker‑based Kubernetes clusters. On vSphere with Flannel networking, you can apply compute profiles only to Linux clusters.
TKGI CLI does not prevent accidentally reducing a cluster’s control plane node count using a compute profile.
Warning: Reducing a cluster’s control plane node count can destroy the cluster. Do not scale out or scale in existing control plane nodes by reconfiguring the TKGI tile or by using a compute profile. Reducing a cluster’s number of control plane nodes may remove a control plane node and cause the cluster to become inactive.
Symptom
After you delete a VM using the management console of your infrastructure provider, you notice a Windows worker node that had been on that VM is now in a notReady state.
Solution
To identify the leftover node:
kubectl get no -o wide
notReady state and have the same IP address as another node in the list.To manually delete a notReady node:
kubectl delete node NODE-NAME
Where NODE-NAME is the name of the node in the notReady state.
Symptom
You experience a “502 Bad Gateway” error from the NSX load balancer after you log in to OIDC.
Explanation
A large response header has exceeded your NSX-T load balancer maximum response header size. The default maximum response header size is 10,240 characters and should be resized to 50,000.
Workaround
If you experience this issue, manually reconfigure your NSX-T request_header_size and response_header_size to 50,000 characters. For information about configuring NSX-T default header sizes, see OIDC Response Header Overflow in the Knowledge Base.
You must configure a global proxy in the Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integrated Edition tile > Networking pane before you create any Windows workers that use the proxy.
You cannot change the proxy configuration for Windows workers in an existing cluster.
For vSphere with NSX-T, the HTTP Proxy password field does not support the following special characters: & or ;.
Symptom
You receive the following error after modifying your existing Harbor installation’s storage configuration:
Error response from daemon: manifest for ... not found: manifest unknown: manifest unknown
Explanation
Harbor does not support modifying an existing Harbor installation’s storage configuration.
Workaround
To modify your Harbor storage configuration, re-install Harbor. Before starting Harbor, configure the new Harbor installation with the desired configuration.
Symptom
Permissions are removed from your cluster’s files and processes after resizing the persistent disk during a cluster upgrade. The ingress controller statefulset fails to start.
Explanation
When resizing a persistent disk, Bosh migrates the data from the old disk to the new disk but does not copy the files’ extended attributes.
Workaround
To resolve the problem, complete the steps in [Ingress controller statefulset fails to start after resize of worker nodes with permission denied] (https://community.pivotal.io/s/article/5000e00001nCJxT1603094435795?language=en_US) in the VMware Tanzu Knowledge Base.
Symptom
You experience issues when configuring a load balancer for a multi-control plane node Kubernetes cluster or creating a service of type LoadBalancer. Additionally, in the Azure portal, the VM > Networking page does not display any inbound and outbound traffic rules for your cluster VMs.
Explanation
As part of configuring the Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integrated Edition tile for Azure, you enter Default Security Group in the Kubernetes Cloud Provider pane. When you create a Kubernetes cluster, Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integrated Edition automatically assigns this security group to each VM in the cluster. However, on Azure the automatic assignment may not occur.
As a result, your inbound and outbound traffic rules defined in the security group are not applied to the cluster VMs.
Workaround
If you experience this issue, manually assign the default security group to each VM NIC in your cluster.
Symptom
One of your plan IDs is one character longer than your other plan IDs.
Explanation
In TKGI, each plan has a unique plan ID. A plan ID is normally a UUID consisting of 32 alphanumeric characters and 4 hyphens. However, the Plan 4 ID consists of 33 alphanumeric characters and 4 hyphens.
Solution
You can safely configure and use Plan 4. The length of the Plan 4 ID does not affect the functionality of Plan 4 clusters.
If you require all plan IDs to have identical length, do not activate or use Plan 4.
Symptom
After you stop one instance in a multiple-instance database cluster, the cluster stops, or communication between the remaining databases times out, and the entire cluster becomes unreachable.
The following might be in your UAA log:
WSREP has not yet prepared node for application use
Explanation
The database cluster is unable to recover automatically because a member is no longer available to reconcile quorum.
Symptom
Backing up vSphere persistent volumes using Velero fails and your Velero backup log includes the following error:
rpc error: code = Unknown desc = Failed during IsObjectBlocked check: Could not translate selfLink to CRD name
Explanation
This is a known issue when backing up clusters on Kubernetes v1.20 and later using the Velero Plugin for vSphere v1.1.0 or earlier.
Workaround
To resolve the problem, complete the steps in Velero backups of vSphere persistent volumes fail on Kubernetes clusters version 1.20 or higher (83314) in the VMware Tanzu Knowledge Base.
Symptom
The first time that you try to create two Windows clusters at the same time, the creation of one of the clusters fails. If you run pks cluster CLUSTER-NAME to examine the last action taken on the cluster, you see the following:
Last Action: Create Last Action State: failed Last Action Description: Instance provisioning failed: There was a problem completing your request. … operation: create, error-message: Failed to acquire lock … locking task id is 111, description: ‘create deployment’
Explanation
This is a known issue that occurs the first time that you create two Windows clusters concurrently.
Workaround
Recreate the failed cluster. This issue only occurs the first time that you create two Windows clusters concurrently.
Symptom
After running tkgi delete-cluster and cluster deletion has completed, the deleted cluster continues to be listed when running tkgi clusters.
Workaround
You must manually remove the deleted cluster using a customized version of the ncp_cleanup script. For more information, see Deleting a Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integrated Edition cluster with “tkgi delete-cluster” stuck “in progress” status in the VMware Tanzu Knowledge Base.
Symptom
After you uninstall TKGI, then reinstall TKGI in the same environment, BOSH Director logs errors similar to the following:
.../gems/bosh-director-0.0.0/lib/bosh/director/deployment_plan/cloud_manifest_parser.rb:120:in `parse_vm_extensions': Duplicate vm extension name 'disk_enable_uuid' (Bosh::Director::DeploymentDuplicateVmExtensionName)
Explanation
The pivotal-container-service cloud-config was not removed when you uninstalled the TKGI tile, and it remained active. When you reinstalled the TKGI tile, an additional pivotal-container-service cloud-config was created, causing the metrics_server to fall into a crash-loop state.
Workaround
You must manually remove the pivotal-container-service cloud-config after removing your TKGI deployment, including after removing the TKGI tile from Ops Manager.
For more information, see “Duplicate vm extension name” error when metrics_server runs on Director VM in Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integrated Edition in the VMware Tanzu Community Knowledge Base.
Symptom
Your TKGI logs include the following error:
'uaa'. Errors are:- Error filling in template 'uaa.yml.erb' (line 59: Client redirect-uri is invalid: uaa.clients.pks_cli.redirect-uri Client redirect-uri is invalid: uaa.clients.pks_cluster_client.redirect-uri)
Explanation
The TKGI API fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) for your cluster contains leading or trailing whitespace.
Workaround
Do not include whitespace in the TKGI tile API Hostname (FQDN) field.
The TMC Cluster Data Protection Backup fails in TKGI environments upgraded from an earlier version.
Symptom
The TMC Cluster Data Protection Backup fails to back up your existing clusters and logs the following error:
error executing custom action (groupResource=customresourcedefinitions.apiextensions.k8s.io, namespace=, name=ncpconfigs.nsx.vmware.com): rpc error: code = Unknown desc = error fetching v1beta1 version of ncpconfigs.nsx.vmware.com: the server could not find the requested resource
Explanation
Kubernetes v1.22 disallows the spec.preserveUnknownFields: true configuration in your existing clusters and the creation of a v1 CustomResourceDefinitions configuration fails.
The TMC Cluster Data Protection Restore operation can fail when restoring multiple Antea resources.
Symptom
The TMC Cluster Data Protection Restore fails and logs errors that requests to restore the admission webhook have been denied.
Explanation
Velero has encountered a race condition while operating a resource. For more information, see Allow customizing restore order for Kubernetes controllers and their managed resources in the Velero GitHub repository.
TKGI does not support environments where there are multiple matching networks, such as a mixed CVDS/NVDS environment.
Symptom
TKGI logs errors similar to the following in an environment with multiple matching networks:
LastOperationstatus='failed', description='Instance provisioning failed:
There was a problem completing your request. Please contact your operations team providing the following information:
service: p.pks, service-instance-guid: ..., broker-request-id: ..., task-id: ..., operation: create,
error-message: Unknown CPI error 'Unknown' with message 'undefined method `mob' for <VimSdk::Vim::OpaqueNetwork:' in create_vm' CPI method
Explanation
TKGI cannot identify which of the matching networks you intend to use and has selected the wrong network.
Occasionally, tkgi update-cluster hangs while updating a Windows worker node instance and the BOSH task cannot finish and exits.
Symptom
The ovsdb-server service has stopped but other processes report that it is running.
Explanation
The ovsdb-server.pid file uses the pid for a process that is not the ovsdb-server.
To confirm that this is the root cause for tkgi update-cluster to hang:
ovsdb-server service has actually stopped, run the PowerShell Get-services command on the Windows worker node.To verify that other processes report the ovsdb-server service is still running:
Review the ovsdb-server job-service-wrapper.err.log log file.
The job-service-wrapper.err.log log file is located at:
C:\var\vcap\sys\log\openvswitch-windows\ovsdb-server\job-service-wrapper.err.log
Confirm that after the flushing processes, the log includes an error similar to the following:
Pid-Guard : ovsdb-server is already runing, please stop it first
At C:\var\vcap\jobs\openvswitch-windows\bin\ovsdb-server_ctl.ps1:30 char:5
+ Pid-Guard $PIDFILE "ovsdb-server"
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: ( [Write-Error], WriteErrorException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.WriteErrorException,Pid-Guard
To verify the root cause:
Run the following PowerShell commands on the Windows worker node:
$RUN_DIR = "C:\var\vcap\sys\run\openvswitch-windows"
$PIDFILE = "$RUN_DIR\ovsdb-server.pid"
$pid1 = Get-Content $PidFile -First 1
echo $pid1
$rst = Get-Process -Id $pid1 -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
echo $rst
ProcessName is not ovsdb-server.Workaround
To resolve this issue for a single Windows worker:
Run the following:
rm C:\var\vcap\sys\run\openvswitch-windows\ovsdb-server.pid
ovsdb-server process to start.If LDAP is enabled, Harbor private projects are inaccessible after upgrading to TKGI v1.13.0. For more information, see Private projects become inaccessible after upgrading Harbor for TKGI to v2.4.x with LDAP feature enabled in the VMware Tanzu Knowledge Base.
Microsoft changed Microsoft Windows’ support for tar file commands in the January 2022 Microsoft Windows security patch.
Packaging scripts that use tar commands for Windows worker-based Kubernetes Cluster deployments can fail after the Microsoft tar command patch update has been applied.
The BOSH agent used by vSphere stemcells built by stembuild v2019.43 and earlier use tar commands that are no longer supported and will fail if the Microsoft Windows security patch has been applied.
Workaround
Stembuild v2019.44 and later include a version of the BOSH agent that does not use unsupported tar commands.
If you use vSphere stemcells, use Stembuild 2019.44 or later to avoid the BOSH agent tar error.
Symptom
The pre-start script for tkgi create-cluster fails and logs floating IP pool allocation errors in the pre-start.stderr.log similar to the following:
level=error msg="operation failed with [POST /pools/ip-pools/{pool-id}][409] allocateOrReleaseFromIpPoolConflict &{RelatedAPIError:{Details: ErrorCode:5141 ErrorData:<nil> ErrorMessage:Requested IP Address ... is already allocated. ModuleName:id-allocation service} RelatedErrors:[]}\n"

ModuleName:id-allocation service} RelatedErrors:[]}\n"
Error: an error occurred during FIP allocation
Explanation
TKGI administrators can allocate floating IP pool IP Addresses in a Network Profile configuration. The TKGI control plane allocates IP Addresses from the floating IP pool without accounting for the IPs allocated using Network Profiles.
Workaround
TKGI allocates IP addresses starting from the beginning of a floating IP pool range. When configuring a Network Profile, allocate IP Addresses starting at the end of the floating IP pool range instead of those at the beginning.
This issue is fixed in TKGI v1.14.1.
In an environment configured with a proxy, automatic vSphere CSI Driver Integration ignores the configured proxy and fails.
Symptom
In environments configured with a Proxy and automatic vSphere CSI Driver Integration enabled, the csi-controller and csi-syncer services log errors similar to the following and fail:
"caller":"vsphere/virtualcenter.go:154","msg":"failed to create new client with err: Post \"...\": dial tcp: lookup ...: no such host"
Workaround
To configure the vSphere CSI Driver to use your proxy:
SSH to TKGI Control Plane VM.
Open the /var/vcap/jobs/csi-controller/bin/csi_controller_ctl configuration file for editing.
Locate the start_csi_controller function in the configuration file:
start_csi_controller()
{
...
export ...
export ...
export ...
...
}
Locate the export commands in the start_csi_controller function and add the following to the group of export commands:
export HTTP_PROXY=HTTP-PROXY
export HTTPS_PROXY=HTTPS-PROXY
export NO_PROXY=NO-PROXY
Where:
HTTP-PROXY is the HTTP Proxy that the vSphere CSI Driver must use.HTTPS-PROXY is the HTTPS Proxy that the vSphere CSI Driver must use.NO-PROXY is a list of host names that the vSphere CSI Driver should not use a proxy for.Restart the csi_controller:
sudo monit restart csi_controller
This issue is fixed in TKGI v1.14.3.
The Fluent Bit Docker, CRI, Go, Java, and Python multi-line parser does not merge containerd runtime cluster log entries belonging to the same context into a single log entry.
Symptom
The pre-start script for tkgi create-cluster fails and logs floating IP pool allocation errors in the pre-start.stderr.log similar to the following:
level=error msg="operation failed with [POST /pools/ip-pools/{pool-id}][409] allocateOrReleaseFromIpPoolConflict &{RelatedAPIError:{Details: ErrorCode:5141 ErrorData:<nil> ErrorMessage:Requested IP Address ... is already allocated. ModuleName:id-allocation service} RelatedErrors:[]}\n"

ModuleName:id-allocation service} RelatedErrors:[]}\n"
Error: an error occurred during FIP allocation
Explanation
TKGI administrators can allocate floating IP pool IP Addresses in a Network Profile configuration. The TKGI control plane allocates IP Addresses from the floating IP pool without accounting for the IPs allocated using Network Profiles.
Workaround
TKGI allocates IP addresses starting from the beginning of a floating IP pool range. When configuring a Network Profile, allocate IP Addresses starting at the end of the floating IP pool range instead of those at the beginning.
This issue is fixed in TKGI v1.14.1.
Symptom
Your Windows clusters using the containerd container runtime in an air-gapped environment always attempt to pull the Windows pause image from projects-stg.registry.vmware.com/v2/tkg/pause/manifests/3.4.1-windows-amd64 instead of your designated Harbor registry.
Errors similar to the following are logged when the cluster fails to pull the Windows pause image:
Warning FailedCreatePodSandBox 4s (x3 over 75s) kubelet Failed to create pod ...:

Workaround
You can work around this issue using your existing container runtime or swapping container runtimes.
For each Windows Worker:
To continue using the containerd container runtime in your cluster:
projects-stg.registry.vmware.com/v2/tkg/pause/manifests/3.4.1-windows-amd64.To switch to the Docker container runtime to resolve this issue:
This issue is fixed in TKGI v1.14.1.
Clusters using the Docker container runtime no longer default to supporting Docker command line commands.
Supporting containerd as the default container runtime requires Docker-specific features incompatible with containerd are deactivated by default.
Workaround
In an environment where you want to run Docker commands, complete one of the following:
Export the Docker environments variables before using Docker commands:
source /var/vcap/jobs/docker/bin/envrc
For example:
source /var/vcap/jobs/docker/bin/envrc
docker images

... 1a3337bb81890b6bb1848b5dd4565dfa5d124f38 ffb57751a939 3 months ago 182MB
Use absolute Docker paths when referencing Docker:
/var/vcap/packages/docker/bin/docker --host unix:///var/vcap/sys/run/docker/docker.sock
For example:

This issue is fixed in TKGI v1.14.1.
A vm_extensions configuration will not be applied consistently to the VMs in a cluster if the initial application of the configuration was interrupted by an error.
Explanation
A cluster will have an inconsistency between its cloud-config and BOSH manifest if the initial application of a vm_extensions configuration is interrupted and fails. The inconsistency results because BOSH rolls back manifest changes after an error occurs but there is not a corresponding function that rolls back the cluster cloud-config changes.
Attempting to re-apply the vm_extensions configuration to the cluster has no effect because the cluster cloud-config indicates the cluster has already been updated.
Workaround
To export the cloud-config of the cluster with vm_extensions configuration inconsistencies:
bosh configs --type=cloud --name=BOSH-DEPLOYMENT > YAML-FILENAME
Where:
BOSH-DEPLOYMENT is the service-instance_-prefixed BOSH deployment name.YAML-FILENAME is the output YAML file name.For example:
bosh config –type=cloud –name=service-instance_cdd7f46b-3151-4d67-85a6-5531fa456b71 > service-instance_cdd7f46b-3151-4d67-85a6-5531fa456b71-cloud-config.yaml
(Optional) Create a backup of the cloud-config you just exported:
For example:
cp service-instance_cdd7f46b-3151-4d67-85a6-5531fa456b71-cloud-config.yaml service-instance_cdd7f46b-3151-4d67-85a6-5531fa456b71-cloud-config-withextension.yaml
Open the exported cloud-config in an editor.
Remove the vm_extensions added by the interrupted vm_extensions configuration that are tagged with “master-vmext” and “worker-vmext”.
You do not need to delete the default configuration tagged with “master-nsgroup” that was also added by the interrupted vm_extensions configuration.
Locate the UAA credentials for the environment. See Credentials > uaa_client_credentials in the Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integrated Edition Tile.
Export BOSH_CLIENT and BOSH_CLIENT_SECRET using the UAA credentials collected above.
For example:
export BOSH_CLIENT=pivotal-container-service-5531fa456b7185a646bc export BOSH_CLIENT_SECRET=‘4d6785a65531fa456c’
To update cluster specific cloud-config:
bosh update-config --type=cloud --name=BOSH-DEPLOYMENT YAML-FILENAME
Where:
BOSH-DEPLOYMENT is the service-instance_-prefixed BOSH deployment name.YAML-FILENAME is your modified exported cloud-config YAML file name.For example:
bosh update-config –type=cloud –name=service-instance_cdd7f46b-3151-4d67-85a6-5531fa456b71 service-instance_cdd7f46b-3151-4d67-85a6-5531fa456b71-cloud-config.yaml
To update the cluster recreate VMs with the correct manifest:
tkgi update-cluster CLUSTER-NAME --config-file CONFIG-FILENAME
Where:
CLUSTER-NAME is the name of your cluster.CONFIG-FILENAME is the filename of your vm_extensions configuration file.For example:
tkgi update-cluster pks-cluster-55 –config-file bosh-extension.json
This issue is fixed in TKGI v1.14.3.
You cannot switch your default CNI from Flannel to Antrea during TKGI upgrade if TKGI is running on Ops Manager v2.10.40 or later.
This issue is fixed in TKGI v1.14.1.
While migrating a cluster from using the In-Tree vSphere Storage Driver to the automatically installed vSphere CSI Driver, VMDKs attached to worker VMs might be deleted.
For more information, see vsphere-csi-driver the vSphere CSI Driver Release Notes in GitHub.
This issue is fixed in TKGI v1.14.2.
Symptom
After upgrading to TKGI v1.14, Healthwatch fails to scrape Kube Scheduler metrics and logs errors similar to the following:
caller=scrape.go:1294 level=debug component="scrape manager" scrape_pool=tkgi-cluster-scheduler target=... msg="Scrape failed" err="server returned HTTP status 403 Forbidden"
Explanation
Changes in Kubernetes 1.23 require the addition of new parameters in order to make the Kube Scheduler metrics endpoint available externally. The Kube Scheduler process also uses a different port than previous TKGI versions. Healthwatch is unable to scrape Kube Scheduler metrics using the existing default Healthwatch configuration.
Workaround
On each Kubernetes cluster Control Plane node that you want to monitor:
/var/vcap/jobs/kube-scheduler/config/bpm.yml and /var/vcap/jobs/metrics-sink/config/telegraf.conf configuration files./var/vcap/jobs/kube-scheduler/config/bpm.yml YAML file.Add the following to the args: section in the configuration file:
"--authentication-kubeconfig=/var/vcap/jobs/kube-scheduler/config/kubeconfig"
"--authorization-kubeconfig=/var/vcap/jobs/kube-scheduler/config/kubeconfig"
Save your changes.
/var/vcap/jobs/metrics-sink/config/telegraf.conf configuration file.Add a new Kube Scheduler metrics scraper under the existing inputs section in the configuration file:
## Kube Scheduler Metrics
[[inputs.prometheus]]
urls = ["
[https://localhost:10259/metrics]
"]
metric_version = 2
insecure_skip_verify = true
tls_cert = "/var/vcap/jobs/metric-sink/config/monitoring_metric_cert.pem"
tls_key = "/var/vcap/jobs/metric-sink/config/monitoring_metric_cert.key"
Save your changes.
If BOSH later updates the Kubernetes Cluster Control Plane, you must reconfigure the kube-scheduler bpm.yml and the metrics-sink telegraf.conf file for every master node in each cluster.
The workloads on a cluster will experience a period of downtime if the cluster runtime is automatically switched from Docker to containerd during a TKGI upgrade.
Explanation
By default, clusters are switched from the Docker container runtime to containerd while upgrading TKGI to a newer TKGI version.
If a TKGI upgrade switches a cluster container runtime, the workloads on that cluster will experience a period of downtime.
Administrators have the option to switch container runtimes manually before upgrading TKGI. Administrators can also tag a cluster to not switch container runtimes automatically during a TKGI upgrade.
Workaround
To avoid workload downtime, manually switch the cluster’s container runtime to containerd before upgrading to TKGI v1.14 or configure the cluster so that the TKGI upgrade does not switch the cluster’s container runtime.
If you must allow the container runtime switch to occur during a TKGI upgrade, avoid workload downtime by completing the following steps before upgrading to TKGI v1.14:
Pull down the coreDNS image used in your TKGI v1.13 Kubernetes clusters.
If you are upgrading TKGI from v1.13.2 through v1.13.6 to TKGI v1.14.0 and later:
docker pull projects.registry.vmware.com/tkg/coredns:v1.8.4_vmware.7
If you are upgrading from TKGI v1.13.0 or v1.13.1 to TKGI v1.14.0 and later:
Use the following alias docker command:
alias docker="/var/vcap/packages/docker/bin/docker --host unix:///var/vcap/sys/run/docker/docker.sock"
Export the coreDNS image using docker save.
Upload the coreDNS image to your custom image registry.
Upgrade TKGI from v1.13 to TKGI v1.14.
During worker upgrades the coreDNS image in the custom image registry is available, avoiding coreDNS downtime. After upgrading a cluster, the workers use the coreDNS version installed by the TKGI upgrade.
This issue is fixed in TKGI v1.14.2.
The Docker image is not automatically removed after successfully switching a cluster from the Docker container runtime to containerd.
Workaround
To remove a Docker image after switching a cluster’s container runtime:
/var/vcap/store/docker directory.This issue is fixed in TKGI v1.14.2.
After upgrading TKGI to TKGI v1.14.0, the vROPs cAdvisor daemonset cannot be deployed on clusters with Pod Security Policy (PSP) enabled.
Symptom
The vROPs cAdvisor daemonset does not deploy on a cluster and errors similar to the following are logged:
Warning FailedCreate... daemonset-controller Error creating: pods "..." is forbidden: PodSecurityPolicy: unable to admit pod:
Workaround
To restart vROPs cAdvisor daemonset:
Configure privileged: true and allowPrivilegeEscalation: true in the spec settings.
For example:
---
apiVersion: policy/v1beta1
kind: PodSecurityPolicy
metadata:
name: a-vrops-psp
spec:
privileged: true
allowPrivilegeEscalation: true
....
Save your edits and update the cluster with the revised configuration file.
For more information on configuring PSP, see Enabling and Configuring Pod Security Policies.
This issue is fixed in TKGI v1.14.3.
Switching a cluster’s container runtime from Docker to containerd can timeout and fail if the Docker directory contains many files.
Description
A timeout occurs during the remove Docker step while switching a cluster’s container runtime from Docker to containerd if the Docker directory contains too many files to delete within the 180-second timeout interval.
Workaround
To work around this issue:
/var/vcap/store/docker directory.This issue is fixed in TKGI v1.14.3.
If a Pod is recreated in a new instance node, the persistent volume might remain attached to the old node.
Symptom
A persistent volume remains attached to an old node, and attachment errors similar to the following are logged:
Warning FailedMount... kubelet Unable to attach or mount volumes: unmounted volumes=..., unattached volumes=...: timed out waiting for the condition
Warning FailedMount... kubelet Unable to attach or mount volumes: unmounted volumes=..., unattached volumes=...: timed out waiting for the condition

For more information, see Persistent volume fails to be detached from a node in VMware vSphere Container Storage Plug-in 2.5 Release Notes.
This issue is fixed in TKGI v1.14.3.
Pods in a cluster that has been switched from the Docker container runtime to containerd might enter a CrashLoopBackOff state. If the container runtime switch is part of a cluster upgrade, the upgrade halts.
Symptom
The Pods that have entered the CrashLoopBackOff state log the following:
Warning FailedCreatePodSandBox... Failed to create pod sandbox: rpc error: code =
Unknown desc = failed to create containerd task: failed to start shim:

The Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integrated Edition Management Console v1.14.0 has the following known issues:
Symptom
The Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integrated Edition Management Console integration to vRealize Log Insight does not support connections to the HTTPS port on the vRealize Log Insight server.
Workaround
/lib/systemd/system/pks-loginsight.service in a text editor.-e LOG_SERVER_ENABLE_SSL_VERIFY=false.Set -e LOG_SERVER_USE_SSL=true.
The resulting file should look like the following example:
ExecStart=/bin/docker run --privileged --restart=always --network=pks
-v /var/log/journal:/var/log/journal
--name=pks-loginsight
-e TYPE=gear2-vm
-e LOG_SERVER_HOST=${LOGINSIGHT_HOST}

-e LOG_SERVER_USE_SSL=true
-e LOG_SERVER_AGENT_ID=${LOGINSIGHT_ID}
pksoctopus/vrli-journald:v07092019
Save the file and run systemctl daemon-reload.
systemctl restart pks-loginsight.service.Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integrated Edition Management Console can now send logs to the HTTPS port on the vRealize Log Insight server.
Symptom
If you enable vSphere HA on a cluster, if the TKGI Management Console appliance VM is running on a host in that cluster, and if the host reboots, vSphere HA recreates a new TKGI Management Console appliance VM on another host in the cluster. Due to an issue with vSphere HA, the ovfenv data for the newly created appliance VM is corrupted and the new appliance VM does not boot up with the correct network configuration.
Workaround
Reconfigure virtual machine task has run on the appliance VM.Symptom
Some file arguments in Kubernetes profiles are base64 encoded. When the management console displays the Kubernetes profile, some file arguments are not decoded.
Workaround
Run echo "$content" | base64 --decode
Symptom
If you create network profiles and then try to apply them in the Create Cluster page, the new profiles are not available for selection.
Workaround
Log out of the management console and log back in again.
Symptom
In the cluster summary page, only default IP pool, pod IP block, node IP block values are displayed, rather than the real-time values from the associated network profile.
